Threes! — Arcade

Good game overall, sometimes it’s a little frustrating or boring.

I've never been a fan of games that insult you or tell you to hurry up, basically ruined this being something I could enjoy. More so as I get ill often and just want something nice to chill out and enjoy without artificial pressure and whining.

What is the point, how can win? Many reviews say the same no updates, plus how can you win when you get 10 1s in a row.. or 10 2’s? Y=

First: this game is beautiful. The graphics are adorable and cute. The sounds and music are fun and well thought out. Unfortunately, the game is mostly based on luck. After playing for a very long time, I can take a look at my stats and see a constant distribution of scores over time — not an improvement. That’s not a failure to get better on my part — it’s the game. This SEEMS like a game of skill, and to a certain score level it can be, but it is largely controlled by luck. The gameplay “engine” / “AI” / “NPC” (whatever you want to call it) is super crummy and unforgiving. Maybe you’ll get four or five “1” or “2” cards thrown at you all at once, or a super high number card followed by a stack of low numbers. It doesn’t adapt to your gameplay or situation AT ALL. To make matters worse, there’s no game mechanics to help you out when you’re in a corner — no undo mechanism, no special moves… nothing. Not that it would need a special mechanic IF the gameplay “engine” was actually better. The developer seems to have abandoned the game too — except for showing up to cash out on an Apple Arcade deal — there haven’t ever been any updates… ever… at all… I’m terribly disheartened, because I want to love this game so much.

Get it

But can I play without the screen to sign my game — every game? Every game. I play offline I think that’s why it constantly asks. The games are over quickly. There is an added challenge of color tiles so games last about :90 seconds. Then add :15 or so seconds to swipe through the force sign-your-board screens, and then swipe through to get to a new game (called replay). It feels less like playing a game and more like (gasp!) work.

I love this game it’s simple and complex I’m still trying to find out who is 384 😤! Note for developers: Please add controller support! I have the backbone + and this game would feel so much better if it supported it!

Great job
